Early morning flights were suspended, leaving passengers stranded as aviation workers shut down the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos Terminal Two (MMA2), on Tuesday, The New Diplomat has gathered.

The aviation workers, under the aegis of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), took to the terminal early Tuesday, protesting the sack of some of their members by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).

It would be recalled that, ATSSSAN, on Monday alleged that BASL operators of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two (MMA2), Lagos sacked 34 of its members illegally.

The union alleged that the members were sacked Friday October 28, 2022 with “ordinary e-mails” sent to their different boxes with disregard to the rule of law after they were first sent on compulsory leave of absence for 10 days.

ATSSSAN went further to issue a seven-day ultimatum to BASL to reverse the sacking of over 30 workers or face picketing.

The association also threatened a showdown and demanded payment of its members, their terminal entitlements and reversal of the leave of absence given to them, adding that failure to do so will resort in it using “any known means to fight for members’ rights.”
